Embark on a thrilling 7-day North Tanzania Classic Safari, going beyond the ordinary camping experience. Speak with our team to design your dream safari in Tanzania.
Arrival
Kilimanjaro International Airport - Your guide will be waiting for you at Kilimanjaro Airport and drive you to your lodge in Arusha (45-60 minutes) for your first overnight. Your guide will give you a short introduction and explanation of the details of your tour. Depending on the time of arrival and your wishes your guide will advise you about your program for the rest of the day.
Arusha- Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park - Your guide will pick you up at the lodge and drive you to Tarangire National Park for a game drive in the park, observing elephants, sometimes very close to the campsite near the (dry bedding of the) river. Drive to Larmaku Swamp, a large swamp where you can find elephants and other animals, cooling down in the water and sheltering for the sun in the shadow of the acacia trees. Regarding encountering wildlife we can not guarantee anything, but the chance that you will see large herds of elephants in this park is 99,9%.
Distance Arusha - Tarangire: 170 km, 3 hours
Afternoon drive to Karatu (140 km, 2 hours)
Full day in Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara - After breakfast, we take our lunch boxes and leave for Lake Manyara National Park for a full day game drive. With a little bit of luck, you will experience a beautiful view over the lake with an abundance of flamingoes and hopefully spot lions close-bye. Most animals are making their way down to the river for a much-needed drink … and the famous Manyara lions could be spotted in the trees! Distance: 40 km
Time/road condition: 40 minutes, paved road
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park - After an early breakfast, we take our lunch boxes and leave for Serengeti National Park via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a spectacular area with panoramic views over the crater hundreds of meters below. Today is also an adventurous safari day as a large part of this route is straight across the center of the Serengeti National Park, the area of the Seronera River.
Distance: 210 km
Time/road condition: 6 hours, partly paved, mostly sandy and bumpy.
Full day Serengeti Central
Serengeti Hippo Pool - A full safari day in Serengeti! Driving along the shores of the Seronera River and Mara River, trying to find unforgettable moments and a glimpse of the way wild animals live and survive. Wildebeest crossing the river, a hunting cheetah, lion or any other predator or the magnificent view of the silhouette of a giraffe at the horizon. You will have a chance to see Nile Crocodiles (sometimes more than 6 meters long!) waiting for animals to come drinking or crossing and ambush them. You will enjoy areas that are not known to the greater public and are therefore perfect for an experience off the beaten path. Today, our route follows the presence and migration of the animals on the plains.
Serengeti - Ngorongoro
Ngorongoro Crater - After early breakfast depart for Ngorongoro Conservation Area, on the way visit Olduvai Gorge and Maasai Boma. Then we wind our way down into the caldera of the famous Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive with the most breathtaking views along the way. Armed with your guide’s years of experience and his ‘eagle-eyes’ we might even encounter rhino. The chance of seeing an active pride of lions at close quarters is high on the list of possibilities. At the Hippo Pool, you will enjoy all the sights and sounds of the ‘laughing’ hippos enjoying a wallow in the cool water and a mud-bath.
Distance: 160 km
Time/road condition: 3 hours, sandy and bumpy.
Karatu - Arusha
Kilimanjaro International Airport - Depending on your itinerary, we will drive you to a lodge in Arusha, the Arusha Airport (for domestic flights e.g. to Zanzibar) or to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your return flight home. Late checkout is optional for additional charges. Approximately 3 hours to a lodge or the airport in Arusha (120 km), about 4 hours (160 km) to Kilimanjaro International Airport.
